Officers find meth lab components in motel bathroom

LANCASTER – The Fairfield-Hocking Major Crimes Unit was called out to mitigate a meth lab found in a bathtub at the Relax Inn, 1327 River Valley Boulevard, at 6:10 a.m. Sunday.

Lancaster police were originally called to the motel for a domestic dispute between a boyfriend and girlfriend in one of the motel’s rented rooms. When police arrived, the report said the man had left but the woman was there and allowed police to go inside.

Soda bottles with white residue and other components commonly used in manufacturing meth were seen in the room’s bathtub, according to police reports.

The woman was arrested Sunday but has not been formally arraigned on drug charges.
